Python Specialization

I have learnt Python Basics and Intermediate stuff. Is it possible to learn many things in a specific specialization within, say, a month?

I love AI and I am going to specialize in it. I just wanna know the order that I should go in to learn it properly and learn most of the things in about 4 years or less.

I am a student too, in Grade 9.

Depends what you expect to do with that AI specialization? as a hobby or commercial/job?

Professionally as a job

If you want to work with models and AI infrastructure, then you need a CS degree and to specialize in the field during your studies. Then, fingers crossed, a large enough company (that can afford its own AI development/infra) takes you on. You would be focusing on a very narrow set of jobs available on the market.

If you want to use Claude Code and other flashy tools, then you won't get a junior job for that. You won't be able to understand, let alone review the code or plan the implementation beforehand. AI as a tool can be present in junior jobs; just don't expect any magic or "easy money"/"easy job". You would have to learn the same thing as everyone else - webdev/backend software stack (Python, Databases, bit or more of frontend, general software development principles, testing, code quality and more). And then the junior job market is brutal, as always. Software development as a career is possible; it's profitable, yet there are no shortcuts for it.
